Meeting of the NCC Trustee Board
The meeting of the North Carolina
College Trustee Board to be held here
next month will afford another oppor
tunity for the BoaVri to fully explore and
investigate the situation as it now ob
tains at NCC. The rumor now persists
that the present administration at NCC
is experiencing an unusual number of
resignations of able and hard to find
instructors, and that as a result, several
of the departments are without ade
quate personnel. This is one area of
NCC, in particular, about which we feel
the public, or should we say the tax
payer is entitled to know the truth.
This newspaper has information to.
the extent that last year there were 19
resignations of top-ranking faculty
members at NCC and this year will
register equally as many, if not a great
er number, who wi!l take up their beds
and walk. Add to tne above those on
leaves of absence and the hesitancy of
competent instructors to accept work
at NCC, because of the unfavorable
image that has recently been created
there, and it is not haYd to visualize
Fine Exhibition of Interracial Cooperation
From a national standpoint, and at
the present political state of affairs, it
i« going to be hard tor any intelligent
and self-respecting Negro to vote any
thing but the Democratic ticket in 1966
and 1968. From a state level, however,
Negro voters of North Carolina are
going to find it hard to vote the Demo
cratic ticket in 1965 and 1968 because of
the suspicion that the state now has a
puppet governor with Dr. I. Beverly
Lake, the defeated candidate of the 1960
gubernatorial campaign, pulling the
strings or calling the shots from behind
the scenes for every major decision
that is made concerning the affairs of
the state.
Negro leaders of North Carolina have,
on the other hand, been unable to re
solve themselves to the fact the Geor
gia has 10 members of the face in its
legislature. They are also aware that
Negroes are now members of legisla
tures in several otner states, outside
Ihe South, to say nothing about appoint
ive positions they aie holding as a re
sult of the more lil>eral policy assumed
on the part of Democratic leaders. With
such facts staring thorn in the face, the
question is already being asked, will Ne
gro political leaders of the state have
th« brass to ask their people to con
tinue their loyalty to the Democratic
Party?
When the political picture in North
Carolina" is viewed fn.>m all angles, and
at the national level, it appears that the
Democratic Party in North Carolina is
faced with a problem similar to the Re
Political Problem Now Facing Negro Voters
The Carolina Times takes this oppor
tunity to extend congratulations to the
Durham Committee on Negro Affairs
for the excellent j*>b it did in support
ing the bond issue last Saturday.
Along with progressive white people,
the outcome of the election was a job
well done. The victory makes it possi
ble for Durham to move forward, along
with other progressive cities of the
state, into an era of industrial, eco
nomic and population growth that m
the years to come will prove beneficial
to all the citizens of Durham.
A study of the results of last Satur
day's election plainly shows had the
Committee On Negro Affairs thrown its
support on the side of those who voted
against the bond issue it would have
been defeated. That its leaders chose to
direct Negro voters to cast their ballots
with the progressive white people of
Durham, in support of th e measure,
is testimony of the careful study they
had made of the situation and the wis
dom they exercised in reaching their
decision.
Now that the bond issue has been
passed and money has been made avail
able for extended improvement and
growth'in several areas of Durham, we
trust city officials will assume a more
liberal attitude in the employment and
promotion of Negroes in city posts than
in the past. One improvement that is
sorely needed is that of the Negro man
ned fire station on Fayetteville Street.
Reports ai« to the effect that it* equip
ment u so inadequate and out of date
the perplexing 1 problem now facing the
institution.
Be this as it may, we think it is «n
--pumbered upon the Trustee Board, and
it alone, the responsibility of finding
the facts and remedying the situation
whatever action it takes. Certainly the
more than four million citizens of the
state, who are in reality the owners of
NCC, are entitled to know if a facility
as important as one of its major edu
educational institutions has reached a
point where it is in a state, of deteriora
tion.
Without trying to be too presump
tious, we would like 10 respectfully re
quest that the NCC Trustee Board ex
plore every area of ihe condition as it
now obtains at the institution. They
should look into the rumors of inward
strife, stupid administrative decisions,
that exists between the administration
and faculty members. Also, they should
look into the reported boring from with
in, which if it exists, is certain to even
tually destroy the utefulnese of NCC.
publican Party at ih e national levil.
Both parties it appears, are permitting
their policies to be directed by leaders
who are opposed to any change that
would advance the cause of the Negro
citizens of this country.
Looking at the situation from a local
and state standpoint, many Negro poli
tical leaders of Durham, as well as many
voters are beginning to question the
wisdom of continuing their loyalty and
support to the Democratic party when
the candidacy of any Negro for even a
minor political poat this city or else
where in North Carolina is, generally
speaking, a signal for white leaders and
voters of the Democratic party to form
a block and oppose such. Negroes feel
their loyalty entitles them to any post
or employment for which they can
qualify.
At the present state oi affairs, it ap
pears that Negro voters in North Caro
lna, and many other Mates, are going to
be faced with the problem of splitting
their votes in the elections of 1966 and
1968. The courageous stand taken by
President Johnson on questions invol
ving their rights as citizens would
make it mandatory ihat Negroes sup
port the Democratic ticket from a na
tional standpoint. At the state level,
however, especially North Carolina
where Dr. Lake appears to be call
ing the shots, Negro voters are faced
with the question of making a decision
that is certain to influence the future
of the race, economically as well as
politically, for years to come.
that the safety of homes and property
in the area serviced by this particular
fire, station is far below what it should
be.
While we are o.i the subject of the
support the Durham Committee on Ne
groes Affairs gave the bond issue in
Saturday's election, we would like to
set at rest those w!>o might have the
misconception of the purpose, for which
the DCNA was organized over 35 years
ago and the purpose for which is now
exists. We would like to do this be
cause it had been suggested that the
DCNA would oppose the bond issue
on the grounds that its political power
would be weakened by the 16,000 new
voters that would be brought into the
city limits if it passed.
Contrary to the general belief, offi
cials of the Durham Committee on Ne
gro Affairs have never desired that the
organization become a power or block
unto itself. They prefer that the com
mittee work as a team with progressive
and fafrminded white citizens of the
city rather than become isolated unto
itself as a group or power. They be
lieve that the future of Durham is de
pendent upon all its citizens pulling to
gether rather than in different direc
tions. It is hoped therefore, that instead
of suspicion and distrust, a better un
derstanding between the races will re
sult from the fine team work exhibited
by the progressive whites and die Dur
ham Committee, on Negro Affairs in
last Saturday's election,

"I am the purchased slave ef
5in...." Rmi. 7:14.
Thfe glorious mystery of
Christ and his cross is that it
buys me back from the frightful
bondage of slavery. In the
cross of Christ the human soul
finds its true freedom. Han
the helpless victim longed in
'he dark night of his sinfulness
for redemption or deliverance
from this spiritual-moral bond
age. And a God of love heard
and answered man's plaintive
and agonizing cry ard came in
loving humility to ransom man,
the slave of sin. So we all must
recognize that It is in Christ
that we all must find freedom
from the enslaving power of
sin. Yes, through and in Christ
"I am the purchased slave of
sin."
The God' of >ove opened his
heart of love in the atoning
sacrifice of Jesus on the cross
of Calvary. In that fouptain we
all are cleansed ;healed and
made whole. In that loving,
gracious sacrifice be pay* the
debt of our sins. In the foun
tain of the cross my sins- are
washed away. In Christ and his
cross we all must find a way

NEW YORK—AlcoholUm is
listed along with coroniry heart
disease and cancer oa responsi
ble for cutting short the lives
of too many adults between 40

years. While vast research pro

escaping these degenerative
diseases and liviiif a longer

This is the view of Harry J.
Johnson, 11. D., author of Your
Health Is Your Business. Dr.
Johnson is the medical director
of the Life Extension Institute
of New York, which developed
the concept of the annual
health examination. Your
Health Is Your Business is a

available for 25 cents from the
Public Affairs Committee, 881

Although alcoholism by it
self is not often fatal, Dr.
Johnson *x»ints out, it is serious
because "by improper nourish
ment, .rait and medical atten
tion alcoholics allow their bod.

gree they are easy victims of a
variety of diseases." He dis
cusses succinctly the'causes and
effects or alcoholism and lists

In Christ and His Cross There is

the dying thief found healing
and redemption. And there we
all may become the ransomed
salves of sin. There the ensalv
ing shackles are broken. It is
there, and there alone, that we
can find spiritual freedom.
Apart from Christ and his
cross we continue to be the
object, shameful slaves of sin.
And thank God he excludes
i*> OM. We all are included in
the embrace of this gracious
love which is so amazing and
so divine. This love comes to
us in our unworthiness to -pay
the great price to ransome our
souls from sin. This freedom,
thank God, is yours for the
asking. All you have to do is
make up your mind to receive
it. The whole transaction is
completed. All that is needed
to appropriate this freedom is
a simple act of faith and re
pentance. Stop new, just -jrhere
you are, and this Jesus will
ransome your soul from sin.
The chief business of this Jesus
is to set us sinners free. Jesus
came, primarily, to ransome or
ple, and not alarmist: "There
are ten main factors of con

tor finds that you are In the
small minority of persons who
have an abnormal condition.
And gat enough sleep each
night - This is the preventive
way to ope with heart disesse,

Throughout the pamphlet,
Dr. Johnson stresses tthe Im
portance of prevention. "Can
oar," he writes, "is another ma
jor dlaaam which msy be best
combattod by, prevention apd
early detection." Until research
comes up with answers to some
of the ftifdameatal problems,
early detection is the best hope
of cure "I* our present know

all people, mortality could be
reduced by about 80 per cent—
wbtek mean* tb»t w* could
free the slaves of sin.
Why, then, do men choose to
stay in slavery? You don't have
to be a slave. Jesus, the spirit
ual emancipator, stands ready
to free you. Why do men love
the darkness after the light
of redeeming love has dawned?
There may be several reasons—
they are blind, stupid, and un
aware of the rich Joys and
blessings of the spiritual free
dom they have in Christ, the
Savior. Some one asked pointed
ly recently Is man's difficulties
due to ignorance or sin? With
the great current explosion of
knowledge it could not be ig
norance. Now we have more
knowledge than ever before;
and yet, man stands in great
er danger than ever. The
Bible, therefore, to be right—
the root of man's trouble is
sin. God haa remedied the
condition, he sect his Son to
free us from the slavery of
sin.
God in Christ has come to
ssve us from sin and send us

blessings of freedom and dig

save mere than 100,000 lives.
Early detection depends 'it
large part upon ... a thorough
checkup each year. And as to
prevention eliminating or dras
tically reducing one's smoking
of cigarettes is bound to be
beneficial."
The basic P» trentive health
routine Dr. Johnaon recom
mends includes a three-part
program.
1. Learn the current state, of
your health. This means an
annual comprehensive medical
examination covering a detailed
history of symptoms, a com
plete physical examination of
the body, laboratory investiga
tions, electro-cardiogram, chest
x-ray, pelvic anamination for
women .and ao on.
Z Review your health habits
with four doctor.
S. Learn all you can about
the need* of the body. Keep
informed about the best health
routines and practice them.
